ANGRY ATTORNEYS
SHOUT ANATHEMAS
Heney and Ach Engage in a
Interchange
of Denunciation
Stormy Scene During RueT
Trial Over Witness Chal
lenged for Unfitness
In vociferous denunciations of each
other and of each other's methods and
motives. Assistant District Attorney;
Heney and Henry Ach of Ruefs coun
sel reached the climax yesterday of
all the outbursts of feeling between
them that have so liberally besprinkled
the record of the present Ruef trial.
The clash was not confined, as usual, I
to a short interchange of sharp per- j
sonalities or to a single sneer or bitter
word, but ranged through two fervid
speeches growing out of an argument
over a point of practice. For half an
hour, almost without interruption, the
two attorneys thundered as they might.
In arguing to a jury, and the question
that brought It all about was one con
cerned with the nature of qualifications
which make a mah fit or unfit for jory
duty.
The eligibility of Charles H. Herring
ton, a manufacturer, to serve as a juror
was the point at .issue.- Ach passed
the man without challenge, but Heney
cha'.ltngd on the ground of general un
fitness. and the clash occurred.
Herrington had declared, himself so
little Interested In civic matters as j
practically not to care whether a sound
or a thoroughly rotten administration
was in power. Though he has lived in
this city for several years lie declared
that he. scarcely ever read a paper, that^
the graft prosecution was absolutely
without interest for him, that he had
never discussed It or thought of it and
that he knew absolutely nothing
about it. '_\u25ba -'
ACH BKt:«.MISS VIOIJE.VT
Heney asked the juror if he had no
interest In the enforcement of the laws
and whether he did not believe that the
maintenance of an honest government >
was any of his business. Ach entered ;
violent protests and «xceptions, charg- j
ing Heney with insulting the juror. !
Heney replied that he did not con
sider a man so lacking In the elements
of good citizenship a fit person to try a
case. Ach's reply was to propound
questions to the juror that caused
Judge Lawlor to exclaim that such an
examination was "most extraordinary."
The speeches followed, in the line of
argument intended on the one hand to
convince the court that a juror's lack
of interest in municipal affairs could
not serve as a ground of disqualifica
tion, and, on the other hand, to show
that his admissions had debarred him
from consideration. The challenge was
firally submitted and taken under con
sideration until t-hls morning.
One additional juror was passed yes
terday without challenge, and there is
only one vacancy now in the jury box.
George H. Cross of 2281 Market street,
manager of the Grand Central hotel,
was the single talesman who proved
satisfactory to both sides. He declared
that his only opinion was one which he
<-ould set aside and disregard In listen
ing:, to the evidence, tn the case.
Heney stated Ir^t nJglit that^he had
collie into |>osse:4;£»n of evidence which
would prompt him to reopen the exam
ination of Cross, thus laying the foun
dation for a possible challenge.
The expected order of court reserving
a portion of the courtroom for the ex
clusive use of talesmen was made just
prior to the noon recess yopterday -and
came about in a sensational manner.
HeUey opened the way fey calling the
courts attention to the fact tliat Ruef
"\u25a0hf>el*rfi" were mingling among the
talesmen and conversing in their hear
ing. Ach jumped to his feet, declaring
that he did mot know a single man in
the employ of the defense who was In
th#» room.
HKMSVS ACCUSATION
"They may not be in your employ,"
enswered Heney, "but they are doing
the work, and I can prove It." '£>
Ach answered by declaring that
ajrents acting tinder instructions of
Special Ag^nt Burns were in the body
of the courtroom, and received the
sharp rpply that they were there to
vatctt the Ruef men. Then' Heney
turned to point out a man named Cook,
an agent of the defense, who had been
seated among the jurors, but he was
too late. At the first remark on the
subject Cook had Jumped from his chair
and rti«h«d out of the room. -Ach said
he didn't know the man, and Heney
answered that he had been hired by
Jtuefs latest legal scquislUOn, Attor
ney ICJrk.
Huef remained silent, while "Ach blus
tered and said he "would see about It."
The matter was not reopened at the
sftemoon session, but the result was
"that several rows of seats were ordered
reserved for juror*. leaving practJ-cally
no seats in the courtroom for specta
tors.
That the trial will be held in some
hall or theater instead of in the pres
ent stuffy and noisy courtroom is prac
ticaliy assured. The -communications
sent by Judge Lawlor to the board' of
supervisors asking for better quarters
was answered yesterday Iff a letter to
Judge Lawlor from the board. The let
ter contained the statement that the
tioard had Investigated and ordered
that double windows be put in the
courtroom and that two ventilators be
placed in the calling.
"While the board Is experimenting I
nhall instruct the sheriff to look up
tnore suitable quarters." was the com
ment made by Judge Lawlor in open
court after reading the letter. Under
the authority vested in him by statute,
he did make such an order and let it be
understood that if a suitable place is
found he will Ignore the action of the
supervisors and move the court. The
Colonial theater. In McAllister street,
and the Vittory theater. In. Sutter
street, near Fillmore, are two places
that have been suggested for possible
use.

'POLITE CATALOGUE'
GUIDES JAPANESE
Governor of Kanagawa Issues
List of Rules for Courteous
Treatment of Foreigners
Punctilious Official Provides
Even for Occidental "Spooni
ness" in Thesis
' If some noble Japanese were to dU
honor to his country by erecting In the
bay of Yokohama a statue of "Polite
ness Enlightening the World.", be
should not choose for his model a Nip
pon maiden holding a flaring torch, but
rather should he post on an eminent
pedestal a heroic figure of the gover
nor of Kanagawa prefecture waving:
above his hsad the most typical docu
ment of his gubernatorial career, a long
thesis entitled "The Treatment oC For
eigners.'*
Through the medium of the Japanese
Weekly Gazette, an English paper, the
rules which the punctilious governor
of Kanagawa has drawn tip for the
guidance of his subjects have reached
this city. They are thorough and cover
nearly every phase of social contact.
They are better than the rules of the
book of "Don't," which sre so popolar in
certain formal eireJes of society. They
direct that shop keepers should not
charge foreigners too much for good 3
and warn: 'Thatt th 6 fiotfon shall 6e
destroyed that a foreigner pays as
much as demanded."
. But that rule is merely a Question
of commercial expediency. Excerpt vj|
for the decajogfue of the governor o'J^
Kanagawa show that deeper issues are
touched. For Instance, one of the
ea^ly cautions, the Inverse of the axiom
"Love me, love my dog." reads:
"That another dog shall not be set
on. sticks or stones thrown at, dogs ac
companying foreigners."
i Occidental "spoonineas" must be tol
erated, for the rules say:-
"That due recognition must be given
to the fact that it is the custom with
foreigners that a married couple walk
hand in hand."
The polite catalogue continues:
•That as foreigners are very anxious
about the avoidance of cruelty to ani
mals, care shall be taken to treat ani
mals kindly.
"That impedimenta shall not be given
to the foreigners at play or on bicycles
by arrayins many children in tha
streets." '
That is polite to the children, also.
•That it shall be borne in mind that
the foreigner is disgusted with the
habit of spitting* anywhere and of scat
tering about the skins of fruits and
cigarette ends in the train or on ship.
•'That the finger shall not be pointed
at the foreigner.
"That those who are learning foreign
languages shall not try unnecessary
talk with foreigners for the mere pur
pose of pnacticing 1 their tongue.
"That th^i age of a foreigner shall not
be asked unless some special necessity
demands.it."
(The clever governor does not distin
guish foreign women In the application
of that rule.)
•"That when cleaning the teeth or the
nostrils in the presence of a forclgns^ 1
handkerchiefs should»be used. ..' '^^
"That whether within or outside the
room, legs and thighs shall not be. ex
posed in the presence of a foreigner,
and at the same time care shall be
taken not to look at the nude body of
a foreigner when he. takes a bath or
changes liis dress.
"That it .shall -be understood that
when a foreigner looks at his watch ha
suggests that he has some urgent en
gagement."
